Engage Leeds goes live April 2017

From April 2017, a new city wide visiting housing support service goes live in Leeds! Engage Leeds is a partnership between GIPSIL, Barca-Leeds, Connect Housing and Riverside Housing. We’ll be supporting people to prevent homelessness, sustain long-term housing solutions and integrate with their communities, through engaging with activities, education and employment.

We’ll be working with up to 1500 households at any time, as well as offering drop-in information, advice and guidance to people whose housing is vulnerable or threatened.

Engage Leeds is part of a major change to housing support in Leeds. New services have also been commissioned by Leeds City Council to deliver Intensive and Dispersed Accommodation to vulnerable people; and to deliver accommodation, floating support and other interventions to victims of Domestic Abuse.
